-- I'm still working on Mickboy's "Definitely Vintage," which I'm beginning to realize was EQ'd in a pretty irrevocable manner. But in the meantime, the following was added to the index on page 1 of this thread. Whereas Mickboy's sounds like it was recorded from the back of the arena, with clear high's and humming bass, the one sounds more upfront but with less high's and lows and a more sustained middle:1973.01.18 DSP Remix
BENEFIT FOR NICARAGUA EARTHQUAKE
THE FORUM, INGLEWOOD, CA
** source: lossy vinyl rip of TMOQ **note: The files were encoded to FLAC only after being remixed in WAV format (no sense in downgrading them to mp3 again). The original source was mp3 @ 192kbs (abysmal, I know but just take a listen :-)
Tracks:
BROWN SUGAR --- surface noise & CD clicks run rampant throughout this track
BITCH --- surface noise & clicks disappear after first :20.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES ABOUT THE SOURCE-------
The blogger who seeded this claimed it was a straight up vinyl rip. It's actually a very good vinyl transfer that must have been ripped off a cd at some point because there are little clicks that surface throughout.
The blogger had posted the show split into 4 chunks labeled side(s) 1-4. So if the timings on here look odd, it's because they've all been retracked.
The entire show was retracked in Goldwave v5.65, remixed using iZotope Ozone 5 advanced and sometimes declicked with iZotope RX2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------NOTES ABOUT THE REMIXING-------
Pre-mix processing in Goldwave:
- obviously retracked using me best judgement to split songs.
- Very conservative normalizing done in Goldwave (-22dB with the average level reduced to avoid clipping)
Pre-mixing in iZotope RX2:
- some tracks had a very passive declicking applied.
Mixing in iZotope ozone 5 advanced:
(1) EQ1 had a mid/side scheme:
- the middle settings consisted of 4-bands tuned in the familiar rock sound (i.e. DAC sound with hyped sides and depressed middle). - the side settings consisted of 7-bands tuned to fatten the middle (between 170-525Hz) and smooth out the edges with a u-push bias towards the top.
(2) Harmonics were hyped using 4-bands of tube modeling, with a slight emphasis on the upper 3 bands.
(3) Next, 4-bands of dynamic processing were applied using the "True Envelope" mode to produce even levels across all frequencies and avoid aliasing.
(4) Stereo imaging was applied using 4 upwardly-expanding bands and a mono-compatible widening effect. The result is a very realistic stereo sound (IMO).
(5) EQ2 the post-processing EQ had a mid/side scheme.
- the middle was tuned to increase the vocals (with narrow spikes at 1600Hz, 3900Hz, & 10020Hz).
- the side was tuned to emphasize the guitar, with a gradual slope from a depressed low end to slightly amped higher end (520Hz being about the midway point).
(6) Loudness maximmizer was set to IRC III with a -5.1 threshold and a -0.1 marging. It had intersample detection engaged and a very fast character shape (1.3). Transient recovery was also turned up about halfway.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All & all a worthwhile effort that hopefully provides a temporary alternative to some of the other versions of this show.
If I can get my hands on a lossless version of "For Fans Only [007]" version of this show or a fresh TMOQ vinyl rip, then I'll gladly remix this one again.
1 more thing -- I'm providing a sample of the source labeled "reference" -- I'm going to try to do this with all my posts from now on, so people can hear what I constantly reference while remixing.
